New images from Django Unchained

Jamie Foxx is a very dapper gunslinger

Django Unchained has released a new batch of images featuring Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz and Leonardo DiCaprio looking pin-sharp in their period Western clothing.

There are a lot of stern faces on show as Foxx and Waltz ponder the magnitude of the task ahead, while Waltz also gets to show his badass side, filling one unlucky punter with a round of hot lead.

The film will see Foxx’s freed slave Django strike up an alliance with dentist-turned-bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Waltz), as he attempts to rescue his wife from the clutches of evil plantation owner, Calvin Candie (DiCaprio).

The latest rumour surrounding the production is that it will screen a first full trailer ahead of screenings of Prometheus , although that has yet to be officially confirmed. Not a bad double-header though, is it?

Django Unchained opens in the UK on 18 January 2013. Until then, you can check out the new images below...
